The South by Southwest (SXSW) festival , which had to be canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak in March of last year , will be held this year from March 16 to 20 online. For this virtual edition , which will be hosted on VRChat , the organization has recreated the Red River Cultural District and Congress Avenue together with the social events studio XR VRrOOm. These are two locations in the center of Austin (Texas), the city where this great marketing, music, art and technology event has been held for more than three decades.
Users will be able to live this experience and virtually walk through these emblematic areas through their computer, PCVR or Oculus Quest glasses. The festival will also have a Virtual Cinema Program that will be Phone Number List accessible and downloadable through the VRrOOm online store. “SXSW really wanted to create a space in the virtual world that brought Austin to life in a spectacular way,” says Blake Kammerdiener, film and XR programmer. “Attendees can come together, explore these worlds and view content created specifically for the world of virtual reality and the largest SXSW Online video channels,” continues Kammerdiener.
Stop by the Paramount Theater for a red carpet photo with your friends or head to the Red River Cultural District for a party. Be sure to catch the virtual Theon Cross with his tuba or stop by Contemporay's rooftop bar for a live session. On the other hand, festival attendees will be able to make their donations to Banding Together ATX , a charity that supports the live music community and was created during the pandemic, as confirmed by Cody Cowan, CEO of Red River Cultural District, to Adweek . SXSW 2021 will feature White Claw, Showtime and High Grade Hemp Seed as sponsors, and will feature live panels and special events.
